The AAII Portland Chapter presents...

Markets Never Forget

“This time it’s different” are the four most expensive words in the English language, according to investing legend Sir John
Templeton. Yet many investors routinely fall into the trap of thinking “now” (whenever “now” is) is somehow radically different. Ken Fisher will demonstrate how investors fail to remember well even recent events—and how that can be very costly. He’ll also demonstrate how to combat faulty market memories with just a bit of history.
